Description Ondrej Lichtner 2013-07-22 09:17:06 UTC 
When creating a bond connection through d-bus, you can't use numeric values for bonding options, only their string variants.
These are valid option values so I don't see a reason not to accept them.

Is it still the case? What's the developers' opinion?
Comment 2 Jiri Klimes 2015-01-13 09:01:26 UTC 
The code adding support for numeric bond values has been merged to master:
